Trapeze Artist Treble

Trapeze Artist had a treble of winners on Friday that included his most expensive yearling ever sold Trapeze Warrior, who saluted at Moonee Valley for the Phillip Stokes stable.

Ridden by Thomas Stockdale, Trapeze Warrior broke through for his third from nine starts when kicking on to win the 1000m Benchmark 70 event by a length.
